This...is 2020

Hey, readers.  Happy New Year.  Hope you all had a good holiday season.  Mine was pretty good.  Got drunk, ate, talked smack, opened gifts and talked more smack.  Good times. XD

Before I get into some of the stuff that I got for Christmas, I wanted to show off 2 of the jewelry sets that I made for my cousin and niece.

Here's the set that I made for my cousin.  She's really into owls.  So coming up with stuff to make for her isn't hard.

And here's the set I made for my niece.

Now onto the Christmas bounty.  Of course it's not Christmas without my favorite Skeleton Man and his First Lady.

In the non-The Nightmare Before Christmas department, I got this cute sugar skull scarf and a Wednesday Addams funko pop.

More craft supplies!  Now I can make more of the things.

*drum roll*............................................DEMONIAS!!!  I've missed rocking clunky platforms.  Can't wait to wear these.

And so concludes another Christmas gift haul.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my Ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

November Update 2019

Hey, readers.  A couple of weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday.  Didn't do anything big.  Just had family over.  Now, on to the gifts.

First up, are these lace finger-less gloves.  I have no idea what to wear these with.  But I'll think of something.

Next, are these skeleton earrings and matching necklace.  I wore them when I went to see Joker.  If you can't dress like a clown while watching this movie, sport skeletons instead. XD

In the make-up department, I got an eye shadow palette, some shimmering lip gloss and make-up brushes.  Time to experiment.

Craft-wise, I got some sewing essentials and more craft supplies.  Can't wait to use that ring bender.

And of course, as I've done for the last 2 years, I created a birthday playlist on youtube.

Speaking of music, my boys are back!  Dr. Death and Mr. Vile recently released their new album, The WOLF on bandcamp.  It's described as a journey into the struggle of the darkest and brightest corners of the human psyche.  I highly recommend giving the album a listen.

That concludes the November Update for this year.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my Ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

The Nightmare After Christmas

Hey, readers.  Hope you're all doing well this holiday season.  I'm doing pretty good.  Got spoiled with a lot of The Nightmare Before Christmas stuff this year.  Can't complain about that. XD

Time to take a close-up look at these goodies.  Starting with the Sally doll.

Wasn't able to get Jack.  So, until he can be obtained, Lord Vader will be keeping Sally company.

Next, are these earring sets, a bottle of black nail polish and a pack of glue-on nails.  I'm not really into glue-on nails.  So, I'll have to find a different use for them.

My favorite out of the bunch was this Zero sweater.

In non-The Nightmare Before Christmas gift news, I got a pair of dress boots.  Now, I can stop relying on my winter boots for those occasions when I decide to dress-up.

Lastly, is this Pan's Labyrinth DVD.

Podcast Update and Prezzies

Hey, readers.  Still working on getting my podcast together.  Got myself a couple of co-hosts and some ideas for topics that we might talk about in potential future episodes.  We tried doing a test run a few weeks ago.  But when I went to playback what was recorded, there was no sound.

This resulted in the test run being a bust.  I figured out what went wrong and fixed the audio problem.  It should be smooth sailing for the next test.  I also celebrated my birthday this month.  My mother cooked a special dinner, my cousin took me to the movies and I got some cool gifts.

First, we have this spooky, glittery tree.

The best part about it is that it lights up.

Well, looks like Jack now has some company.

Speaking of Jack, I also got this Jack Skellington travel mug.

For the piece de resistance, Beetlejuice.  Now, I own the movie and the animated series.

Christmas Gift Haul 2017

Hey, readers.  Happy 2018.  Figured I kick off the new year by showing pics of some of the gifts that I got for Christmas.  First up, is this top.  It's simple and versatile. 

It also came with a cute choker.  Bonus.

Another article of clothing that I got was this sweater.

My favorite part of it were the skulls, keys, hearts and flowers on the sleeves.  Not crazy about the scorpions and snakes though.  But I can deal with it  The good outweighed the bad with this sweater.

In the accessories department, I got a couple pairs of hoop earrings.  You can never have too many hoop earrings.  Never!

What's better than necklaces and chokers?  Star Wars themed necklaces and chokers.

After I removed the choker and necklace from the packaging, I noticed that there was a Darth Vader necklace hidden behind it.

Moving on to DVDs, I got the complete series of Chobits and the animated Beetlejuice.

As a surprise, my mother presented me with art that was made out of one of my reusable sugar skull shopping bags.  A bag that she claimed she lost.  My mother is a sneaky lady.

Lastly, I got a copy of Midnight, Me and Bob Macabre.  So far, I'm halfway through the book.  Things are about to get very interesting.

That's it.  You made it til the end.  Thanks for reading.  Til next time.

B-Day Rundown

Hey, readers.  Had myself a pretty chill birthday weekend.  On Friday, my cousin took me to see Justice League.  We went to one of those dine-in theaters and had at drink at the bar before it started.  Then, we got our dinner on while watching the movie.

I'll say this about Justice League, it was pretty okay.  It wasn't something to write home about.  But it was definitely better than BvS: Dawn of Justice.  The movie got a few chuckles out of me, and would be something I'd watch again if it was on TV.  The following Sunday, some of my other family members came over to celebrate.

My mother cooked some appetizers and they, per my request, brought Chinese take-out.  Once again, due to a lack of communication, I wound up with 2 cakes.  Score.  An awesome Sunday was had.  Now, onto the gifts.

Most of the gifts I received were some clothing essentials that I needed.  So, I'm just gonna skip telling you about those and show you my top 2 favorite non-clothing items.  A sugar skull mug and a new Rocky Horror Picture Show DVD to replace the one that I lost.

Got any plans for Thanksgiving?  Let me know in the comments.  Til next time.

  

Christmas Gift Haul 2016

Hey, readers.  2017 is here, and I kicked it off by going to see Rogue One.  It was good stuff.  But let's get to what you all came here for.  The gift haul.

First up, are these glass drawer knobs.  Pretty, pretty.  Once I swap out the old knobs on my chest of drawers for these, I'll be sure to post a picture of it on my instagram page.

Next, are these necklace pendants.  I already made a necklace out of the silver one.  Still gotta plan out what to do with the others.

Speaking of jewelry, I also got two gift cards for A.C. Moore.  For those who don't know, A.C. Moore is an arts and crafts supply store.  A couple of days after Christmas, I went there and stocked up on some needed jewelry basics.

Time to talk clothes.  I'm not going to get into detail about all the clothes that I got because most of it is boring clothing essentials.  So, I'm just going to talk about my 2 favorite clothing items.  A plaid shirt in red, and a black maxi dress.

I ended up liking the shirt more than I thought I would.  I can wear it on its own or layer it with other tops.  Love the maxi dress.  I've been pining for a basic black maxi dress for a loooong time.  I can dress it up or down.

In my Christmas stocking, I got the usual.  Candy!  As of now, only the sweet tarts remain.

Along with the candy, I got these cute necklaces too.

And so ends the Christmas gift haul.  My blog's 3rd anniversary is coming up.  So, expect another post really soon.  Til next time.
